186 Eglwys Santes Gwenfrewi

 

Byddai’r allor a’r ffenestr liw yn aros ond byddai’r ffont a’r organ yn cael eu cymryd o’r Eglwys. Er nad oedd tynnu’r organ yn rhwystro’r pryniant, penderfynwyd, oherwydd ei gwerth hanesyddol, y dylai’r Cyngor ofyn i’r organ gael aros.

 

 

PENDERFYNWYD comisiynu arolwg gan fod wyth mlynedd wedi bod ers yr arolwg blaenorol.

St Winefride’s Church

 

The altar and stained glass window would remain but the font and organ would be removed from the church. Whilst the removal of the organ would not prevent the purchase, it was decided that due to its historic value the Council should request that it remain.

It was RESOLVED to commission a survey as there had been eight years since the previous survey.

 

Comisiynu archwiliad a chysylltu gyda’r Eglwys

Commission survey and contact the Church

 

187 Ceisiadau cynllunio Planning applications
187.1 A201014: 18 Heol Tyn y Fron:

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD

A201014: 18 Heol Tyn y Fron:

NO OBJECTION

187.2 A200981: 70 Ffordd Cambrian

Mae’r Cyngor yn GWRTHWYNEBU oherwydd:

  • Mae’n cynrychioli dwysáu canol y dref – gyda cholli cartref teuluol arall
  • Mae graddfa’r fflatiau’n rhy fach i sicrhau ansawdd bywyd i breswylwyr
  • Colli gofod amwynder y tu allan
  • Dim darpariaeth ar gyfer storio sbwriel
  • Dim darpariaeth ar gyfer beiciau
A200981: 70 Cambrian St

Council OBJECTS because:

  • It represents intensification of the town centre – with the loss of another family home
  • The scale of the flats are too small to achieve quality of life for residents
  • Loss of outside amenity space
  • No provision for refuse storage
  • No provision for bikes

187.3 A200936: 37 Great Darkgate St:

Mae’r Cyngor o’r farn y byddai’r cais yn opsiwn gwaeth na’r blaen siop presennol. Mae’n cynrychioli datblygiad amhriodol o fewn ardal gadwraeth ac nid yw’n cyd-fynd ag adeiladau cyfagos lle mae enghreifftiau da o adfer.

 

Mae’r Cyngor yn GWRTHWYNEBU’N GRYF ac o’r farn:

  • byddai colli nodweddion traddodiadol yn niweidiol i’r stryd fawr
  • dylid cadw’r stwco gan fod dyluniad yr adeilad yn gydlynol ar hyn o bryd
  • dylai’r ffenestri fod yn sympathetig ac mor agos at y ffenestri gwreiddiol â phosibl gan eu bod yn cydweddu ar hyn o bryd
  • mae’r dormer yn rhy fawr
  • mae toeau llethr yn fwy cydnaws â’r ardal
  • Mae’n cynrychioli dwysáu canol y dref gyda gormod o unedau wedi eu gwthio i mewn – a mae graddfa’r fflatiau’n rhy fach i sicrhau ansawdd bywyd i breswylwyr
  • Colli gofod amwynder y tu allan
  • Problemau gyda sbwriel ac ati
A200936: 37 Great Darkgate St:

The Council is of the opinion that the application would be a worse option than the current shop front. It represents an inappropriate development within a conservation area and is not in keeping with neighbouring buildings where there are good examples of restoration.

Council strongly OBJECTS and is of the opinion that:

  • the loss of traditional features would be detrimental to the high street
  • the stucco should be retained as the building design is coherent currently
  • the windows should be sympathetic and as close to the original windows as possible as they are currently in keeping
  • the dormer is too large
  • pitch roofs are more in keeping with the area
  • It represents intensification of the town centre with too many units crammed in –and the scale of the flats are too small to achieve quality of life for residents
  • Loss of outside amenity space
  • Problems associated with refuse storage etc
188 Parc Ffordd y Gogledd: North Road Park:
188.1 Atgyweirio’r waliau cerrig

 

Nodwyd y dylai’r cyfeiriad strategol fod yn seiliedig ar yr adroddiad ymgynghori a dylid adolygu hyn mewn cyfarfod yn y dyfodol.

PENDERFYNWYD fynd allan i dendr i gael atgyweirio’r holl waliau anniogel a’u hailadeiladu lle bo angen

 

Repair stone walls

 

It was noted that the strategic direction should be based on the consultation report and this should be reviewed in a future meeting.

 

It was RESOLVED to go out to tender to have all the unsafe walls repaired and rebuilt where necessary

Tree and shrub pruning

 

It was RESOLVED to contact local companies to provide quotes for pruning

188.3 Plannu coed a llwyni

 

Esboniodd y Clerc, oherwydd cyfyngiadau ar blannu coed stryd, ym Mharc Ffordd y Gogledd oedd cyfle gorau’r Cyngor i gyflawni ei uchelgais i blannu cymaint o goed â phosibl.

Gellid plannu deg coeden fel y ddraenen wen flodeuog goch, castanwydden, cerddinen, coed ffrwythau – yn enwedig rhai Cymreig, ac o bosibl coeden sbesimen i goffáu bywydau coll oherwydd y pandemig.

 

PENDERFYNWYD ofyn am gyngor arbenigol er mwyn bwrw ymlaen â phlannu cyn y gwanwyn.

Tree and shrub planting

 

The Clerk explained that due to restrictions on street tree planting Council’s best opportunity to achieve its ambition to plant as many trees as possible was in North Road Park.

 

Potentially ten trees could be planted such as red flowering hawthorn, chestnut, whitebeam, fruit trees, especially Welsh varieties, and possibly a specimen tree to commemmorate lost lives due to the pandemic.

 

It was RESOLVED to seek expert advice in order to proceed with planting before the spring.

188.4 Cael gwared ar yr ymyl concrit a chreu pam hir

 

 

PENDERFYNWYD fynd allan i dendr i drawsnewid y darn hir o ardal balmantog rhwng y clwb bowlio a Pharc y Gogledd yn bam hir ar gyfer plannu. Yn ogystal â rhywfaint o blannu lluosflwydd ar gyfer strwythur a bioamrywiaeth, roedd y ffin yn ddigon mawr i ddarparu lleoedd tyfu ar gyfer y gymuned.

Removal of concrete edge and creation of long border

 

It was RESOLVED to go out to tender to transform the long stretch of paved area between the bowling club and North Road Park into a long border for planting.  In addition to some perennial planting for structure and biodiversity, the border was big enough to provide growing spaces for the community.

188.5 Gofod plannu

 

PENDERFYNWYD ddefnyddio’r adeiladwaith presennol (fel uchod ym 188.4) i ddarparu lleoedd tyfu. Byddai hyn yn annog mwy o ddefnydd a mwy amrywiol o’r parc.

PENDERFYNWYD hefyd i gyflwyno siglen bren i annog mwy o ddefnydd gan blant.

Growing spaces

 

It was RESOLVED to utilise the existing structure (as above in 188.4) to provide growing spaces. This would encourage greater and more diverse use of the park.

 

It was also RESOLVED to introduce a wooden swing to encourage greater use by children.

 

188.6 Cŵn

Roedd baeddu cŵn a thraul cŵn ar y dywarchen yn broblem gynyddol. Ond ar ôl trafod arwyddion teimlwyd y dylid asesu’r sefyllfa ar ôl cyflwyno lleoedd tyfu, mwy o goed a siglen fel yr uchod

Dogs

 

Dog fouling and dog wear on the turf was an increasing problem. But it was felt that the situation should be assessed following the introduction of growing spaces, more trees and a swing as above.

 

189 Meysydd Chwarae

Mynegwyd pryderon ynghylch lefelau cynyddol Covid ond PENDERFYNWYD gadw at y PENDERFYNIAD blaenorol i gadw Penparcau ar agor ond y ddau barc arall ar agor ar gyfer gwyliau’r ysgol yn unig.

Derbyniwyd ambell gwyn am y gwaith a wnaed ym Mhenparcau ond cytunwyd oherwydd tywydd y gaeaf y byddai’r parc yn cael ei adolygu ar ôl ychydig fisoedd.

Playgrounds

Concerns were expressed about the increasing levels of Covid but it was RESOLVED to adhere to the previous RESOLUTION to keep Penparcau open but the other two parks open for the school holidays only.

Some complaints had been received about the work carried out in Penparcau but it was agreed that due to winter weather that the park would be reviewed after a few months.

190 Cysgodfannau

Yn dilyn cwyn am y llochesi ym Mhenparcau roedd rhaglen adnewyddu yn cael ei chychwyn gyda gwaith wedi’i ledaenu ar draws y flwyddyn ariannol gyfredol a’r flwyddyn nesaf.

Bus shelters

Following a complaint regarding shelters in Penparcau a refurbishment programme was being initiated with works spread across the current and next financial year.
